"Imagine a group photo of all the students who come to your church (or live within your community of believers) in a typical year. Take a big fat marker and cross out three out of every four faces. That's the probable toll of spiritual disengagement as students navigate through their faith during the next two decades," warns David Kinnaman, president of the Barna Group. Why are they leaving? How can the church better communicate the gospel in a way that makes sense to this generation of "leavers"?

This 15-page resource is designed to help you reach out to a generation that is leaving the church in unprecedented numbers—and to reverse the trend before it gets worse.

ephrem - it seems as if clyde is asking for info regarding evangelizing and teaching youth and young adults.
your comment about the Lord and his local church being mutually exclusive...well, i don't agreee.
leaving the apostate church is not at all giving up faith...i can get behind that statement.
i read clyde's request as trying to reach youth and young adults while involving them in a body of believers. certainly, individuals can do wonderful things without a "group" propelling them, but many highly successful efforts are sponsored by "churches". the learning and growing that comes with paticipating with a group of diverse individuals makes the experience sweeter (usually!) and more beneficial.

Clyde, you have a hard choice to make: "the Lord and the local church" are mutually exclusive.
Without Christ's work of baptism in the Holy Spirit resulting in His awesome self-revelation as "source of life" and personal instruction of new disciples, based on his perfect and transfigurative death on the cross, one cannot even remain for long in one's own faith let alone reach and retain others. (John 14: 15-21; Matt. 28: 18-20)
